  1. it's what it doesn't doo on Sony Announces Robotic Dog · · Score: 1

    Dogs may be cute but who wants to clean up after them?

  2. Re:Oh Jeez! on Sony Announces Robotic Dog · · Score: 1

    you can neuter it by installing Win98 on it

  3. kdemozilla on Pair of KDE Stories · · Score: 1

    I wonder why I haven't heard anyone working on integrating mozilla with qt/kde? I guess kde users will have kfm and Opera

  4. Re:Knee-jerk Microsoft Bashing on Pair of KDE Stories · · Score: 1

    you mean they actually fix bugs?

  5. Re:Keyboard combos on Mozilla M5 Released · · Score: 1

    please submit the bug report (but I tried cbc.ca and had no problems.

  6. Re:Well... on Mozilla M5 Released · · Score: 1

    including keyboard shortcut "themes" to make it easier for those coming from IE or Opera or whatever

  7. Jazilla on Mozilla M5 Released · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to point out that now there's a jazilla binary (win32 for now) at ftp://ftp.jazilla.org/pub/windows-native-exe/ Also interesting is this project to embed gecko in a java canvas: http://members.cts.com/sd/k/kbaker/

  8. Re:Mozilla in win32 on Mozilla M5 Released · · Score: 1

    try x86rel/apprunner.exe

  9. Re:Not fast enough on Mozilla M5 Released · · Score: 1

    if you use what's best you wouldn't use Win98. You'd use unix :)

  10. Re:Multiuser? on Be, Inc. to go public? · · Score: 1

    ya but Windows doesn't work very well. There's a need for competition in this department

  11. both linux and BeOS are good on Be, Inc. to go public? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why there is a linux camp bashing BeOS and a BeOS camp bashing linux. There are quite a few people who feel that it's a good idea to use both-linux as a server and BeOS as a desktop. In fact, http://bemagazine.com/ was created by the same people who brought us Linux Journal. So use both OS's-each have their strengths and weaknesses just as both development models have their strengths and weaknesses. Open source is a good development model. So is a highly focused bunch of brilliant engineers. Beats decisions by dopey PHB's any day of the week (hint: Microsoft)

  12. RIP cyrix on National Semiconductor Selling Cyrix · · Score: 0

    cyrix was always the ugly duckling of the cpu world. They should stick to real innovations like the webpad instead of chips with phony mhz ratings. We need competition to intel and AMD is the only one with a chance. It needs to be stronger.

  13. Re:There already is one on KDE 1.1.1 is out · · Score: 1

    unfortunately they didn't keep up with the project (and I got an email from them saying that they don't have the resources to work on it). So I need to know if there are others who are working on it.

  14. qt mozilla on KDE 1.1.1 is out · · Score: 1

    ah might as well speak up here:
    Is anyone working on a qt mozilla that's designed to work well with kde? The "official" mozilla uses gtk+ but there's no reason why we can't have a qt version as well

  15. Re:Argh! Drop CSSn and get it out on Mozilla now supports all CSS1 properties · · Score: 1

    XSL isn't finished yet. XML linking isn't finished yet. Are you saying we should wait for those things to be finished before Mozilla 1.0?

  16. Re:Assuming 15 million users now, it ain't likely. on ESR: 0.75 billion Linux users 5 years from now · · Score: 1

    100,000 million? huh???? Anyway, I'd say 100 million linux users in 5 years is pretty good

  17. macs suck. pc's suck on Translucent PC Cases · · Score: 0

    Can somebody say...SGI? Blows away those marshmallows any day of the week

  18. performance on HotSpot arrives · · Score: 1

    btw IBM java is free

  19. performance on HotSpot arrives · · Score: 1

    let's see how it compares to IBM'snew java (of course, IBM is still at 1.17 vs Sun's 1.2)

  20. Apogee already successful with Open-Law on The Open Source model in a legal setting · · Score: 1

    mozilla.org also did that with the Wang suit

  21. ms mac and ms dell on Quickies a go-go · · Score: 1

    What happened to Ms Linux (aka la femme nikita)? hmm where's that article...

  22. are you crazy? on Blockbuster to use Divx-scheme for PC Games? · · Score: 1

    boycott id? people would rather sell their soul than give up their quake deathmatches

  23. his major point on Linux is a waste of time? · · Score: 1

    is that it will take a long time for the thousands and thousands of apps (that even the mac has let alone windows) to come to linux. And that's a good point until you realize that your choice in Windows apps may be threatened by MS. Want another word processor like Lotus or Corel? Tough-MS Word is the standard. Want a choice in financial software? Right now there's Quicken and MS Money but don't be surprised if MS finds a way to kill Quicken too. If MS makes an app, that probably means that you won't be able to as well. Linux is more than another unix. It's a unix that's winning. It's a unix whose users really try hard (_try_ is the operative word here) to make easier to use. And people are finally paying attention to it.

  24. AOL and linux on Netscape pulls Mozilla chat-client page · · Score: 1

    hmm remember that Netscape invested in Redhat. So now AOL owns a part of Redhat
